Someone had to be last! Julia’s prompt last Monday was this photo.
And this is my interpretation.
Turn Me
Turn me, pick me up and turn me.
I am the key to your dreams if you deserve me.
I am the beginning of your worst nightmare if you don’t,
Which will it be?
Turn me; find the lock to reveal the innermost secrets
in the casket of my heart
Or the pain I will feel
if you cause it to break.
Turn me, imprison, confine me in your, love?
Join me in the stale corner of your control
where the remnants of my self-worth lurk
waiting for a few crumbs of affection.
Turn me.
Pick me up and turn me.
key = a good bridge to poems and metaphors!
A key to my heart….beautiful Gilly 🙂
Haunting and unnerving – especially repeating “turn me” over and over. Very effective and worth waiting for!
This is really good writing.
I really like this turn of the key.
A wonderful concept for the key. I love it and the repeats are so effective. Great, Gilly.
This is brilliant. You never know what happens unless you use your key in life.
So beautiful, Gilly. You are a great poetess 🙂
It’s full of entreaties, Gilly! Nice.
Wonderful post. I would like to thing that the key will, “I am the key to your dreams if you deserve me.” Now time to make a list of all my dreams….
I really enjoyed the way this poem builds to its’ final end. Super creative thinking for this pictoral challenge. I must get back to those challenges again. Very good, Gilly.
I didn’t know you “cut” Keys, but this one certainly fits the lock.
Bless You
